Got the car back together after changing up some things. I had pulled the ecu to inspect during this as well, had a burnt IC105 driver which explained my irraddic idle. Now with the ecu plugged in. I get no check engine light leadin me to believe that the ecu isn't getting power.

I checked the MPI relay on pins 10&8 and 9&7 and that checked out good. MPI fuse is good. On the pin 103 for constant backup power I have 12volt. But no where else. I just get a click from the relay when I go to turn her on. Am I missing something? I've been getting friendly with my multimeter so please tell me other things to check. Could my ecu have just sh*t the bed from being pulled for so long?

sounds like a dead ecu to me. Connect a logger to it and see if it does anything. If you dont get any CEL the bulb is either burned out or the ECU is dead. You'll have power to the ECU pins as you should, and the MPI relay will respond to key positions, but the ECU wont do anything if it's toast.

Well I thought I had the clutch switch grounded but I unplugged it just to check. And wallah I got it to start.. I went to check and had power at 102 and a heartbeat at 1... I don't get it. I may have a loose wire. Regardless that ecu needs to go. I did have it running a few times today for maybe no more then a minute to check for leaks.

So far no leaks on the return line or new pass. Axle seal.. Crossing my fingers tomorrow

Thanks guys
